And these are the offspring of Isaac son of Abraham.

Refrigerator Genealogy:
Mel photographed our youngest grandchildren and great-grandson for this
blogart project and for updating our refrigerator album.
Our offspring celebrated Shabbat Toldot at our home in Petah
Tikva:
Our son Ron, Miri and their six children Or, Yahel, Shirel,
Meitav, Tagel and Razel came up from Yeroham in the Negev.
Our son Moshe Yehuda, Carmit and their daughter Elianne came
from Kfar Saba.
Our daughter Iyrit came with her daughter Inbal and Moshe
from across the street with their son Eliad, our great-grandson.
Our refrigerator genealogy begins with wedding pictures of
our parents: Abraham and Jeanne
Alexenberg in New York and Leo and Anna Benjamin in Suriname.
The photo sequence begins with Ron, a rabbi, scientist and
educator, making havdalah to mark the end of Shabbat.
It is followed by photos of Meitav (10), Tagel (9), and Razel
(5) with Elianne (2) and Eliad (5) in our home.
From generation to generation, they will dwell in the
Land of Israel where the wilderness will rejoice over them, the desert will be
glad and blossom like a lily. (Isaiah 35:1)
Her wilderness will be made like Eden and her desert
like a Divine garden; joy and gladness will be found there, thanksgiving and
the sound of music. (Isaiah, 51:3)
